Description
A bulldog sits in a military coat and bicorn hat and wears a collar labeled ""SCOTT"" and is telling a smaller dog with a collar reading ""DAVIS"" ""Don't see it"". The smaller dog is saying ""Big thing big thing"". They are speaking over a piece of meat labeled ""Washington"". An American flag, cannons and a pyramid of cannon balls are in the background. The image appears to be a comment on the insignificance of the defense of the nation's capital in Scott's Anaconda strategy. Underneath the image is the text, ""Entered according to act of Congress, by John G. Wells, in 1861, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court, for the Southern District of New York.""
